Building character. Building brotherhood. Building the future.

Last week (Monday, July 6 through Saturday, July 11), the STEM4US! team was incredibly proud to support Kamp Kappa out in Haymarket, VA!

Salutes to our incredible supporters, Darrold Hamlin and Horace Ward, who stepped up in a major way to help STEM4US! provide a huge pizza dinner and invaluable hands-on mentoring to dozens of young men at the camp. 🍕

When we show up for our youth, they show up for their communities.

But the work doesn’t stop when camp ends! Right now, we are gearing up for our biggest event of the summer: The STEM4US! Virtual Ag-Tech Hackathon (August 14-16)!

We are actively training the next generation of innovators in AI, coding, and urban farming right before they head back to school. 💻🌱

HELP US REACH OUR $40K GOAL!

✈️🌌 From the Air Force Academy to STEM4US! 🌌✈️

Yesterday I dropped by the Air & Space Forces Association in Arlington ahead of the Air Force vs. Navy weekend. Really cool to see the history of aviation and space exploration logged all over their walls — a powerful reminder of how innovation in the skies fuels innovation on the ground.

My days at the Academy shaped my commitment to service, discipline, and innovation. That same energy drives my work with STEM4US! — inspiring the next generation to pursue STEM careers and skilled vocations like aviation, aerospace, and cybersecurity.

We’re building pathways for youth — especially from underserved communities — to move from curiosity to careers in AI, space, engineering, and public safety. 🚀

💙 GO AIR FORCE, SINK NAVY!

Let’s connect, cheer on the team, and keep building the future together. Drop a ✈️ if you’re rooting for the Falcons, and tag someone who should be here!

📚✨ STEM4US! was out in force on DC’s first day of school!

From Alice Deal to Jackson-Reed, we’re meeting students, parents, and school leaders where they are—with AI-powered coaching tools to help parents guide and monitor their kids safely, and with tailored hackathons designed to inspire the next generation of innovators.

💡 This fall, our biggest prize? A Boys-Only AgTech Hackathon at Virginia State University (Oct 17–19). Students will explore how AI can transform farming, food, and sustainability—while gaining mentorship, discipline, and career skills that keep our youth safe and thriving.

🚀 We’re building a movement: safer schools, smarter futures, and pathways to tomorrow’s jobs.

**Caption:**

Remembering Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, a true champion for AI and its potential to solve youth violence. As one of the first congressional supporters of STEM4US!, she recognized the transformative power of technology in creating safer communities and brighter futures for our youth. Her legacy continues to inspire us to innovate and advocate for the next generation. 🌟
